Sit down while this is happening and study the manual on what you would like to acheive next, or what looks interesting, also study the maps and get a general feel for the layout of the star-systems. Believe it or not whilst your doing this your earning your-self some money mining while learning the game and layout ( dont forget to retrieve the drones ). Hope this helps you happy hunting Oh and register and sig blah.... if you leave it on over night like this, ships in the current reigon are attacked by pirates and the such. so dont you lose exp?

quote:Originally posted by TSCavalier: As per the link that SC included above, the Solar Reactor operates in the absence of radine. Its backup power not enough to run the ship, but enough to bootstrap itself with enough power to keep the basics working so you can operate even when you arent paying attention and run out of radine. My guess (and I do not know the history of BC, so this is supposition) is that originally the ship simply ran on radine, but during play testing, it was found that you are royally screwed if you ran out. So, the solar reactor is there so you can at least limp back to the corner radine Quickie-Mart. but the solar panel supply ship systems with power without the solar reactor so what use is the solar reactor and the different power inputs. hence the topic name!!! anyway, the solar reactor is for a power crisis or damege causing the ejection of the nrc and a good cmdr wouldnt need to ever have to use it, but im here for curiosity. SC if you tell us the use we will hail you

epecally on wraith

im still on the front against the gamulians so i cant do any testing

but definatly worth it

YOUR RIGHT!!!! THATS THE REASON MY FRIENDS DONT LIKE IT people just dont have imaginations these days. also one friend said "its too big" LOL THATS THE POINT its meant to have depth!! "That's worth twenty bucks ANYDAY" i payed 17 GBP for a pre owned copy!!, UC is really hard to find in england

i bet SCs laughing right now.... as the answer is probably stareing us in the face!

try shut down the nrc when doing your trials

NOT GULTIY i mean what sort of cmdr would i be if i didnt understand the workings of my BC. i think a court martial is in order for you. perverting the course of justice. dievulging codfindential infomation on the court martial. wasting court time with trival matters. court dismissed

It's a twenty kilometer long, five kilometer wide, technologically advanced orbiting cylindrical habitat... *Builds a SC shrine in the thread. Then sends up offerings in apology to SC for anyone even THINKING the person who CREATED UC and such could ever POSSIBLY be a Gammulan spy. Then Colony-Drops Imploder.* i meant that that someone could BLAME him to make him give the answers

maybe if i reported sc as a gamulian spy and earthcom interrorgated him maybe, just maybe he would cough up the infomation. i mean its a bit like a ship desiger not telling the commander that their is a fail-safe on his cc that pumps the sewage onto the bridge if you dont turn the key when you are wanting to leave spacedock! then resnig would probably just say "piority one alert, weve got intruders onboard" then he would start shooting the sewage, accidently hits the NRC which shuts down and we still dont know how the SR works. so we cant leave and the pumps dont have power to suction!

SCs gotta post the use soon i mean its been a month and he said "im going to wait a few days before i pitch in"

well the solar panels power all the normal systems without the reactor then it must convert that standard energy in the normal systems into energy for the enigines and the 6+ sets reactored energy aside for the enigines and the normal systems when out of the suns light. has anyone tried activating the central charging unit during experimentation?

"In 2907, the first fully functional Mass Drive Reactor was developed. This reactor used a mineral called Radine as fuel for anti-matter conversion. The reactor was also capable of using energy absorbed from a solar source. Stronger materials for building the external hull of ships were also developed. Technological research had reached a new level." this is in the histoy section of the appendix and is saying that the solar source is used as fuel for the reactor and the nuclear reactor uses radine to fuel the enigines so the solar reactor transforms light energy into ether stored (battery theroy) for use while their is no solar enery imedeitely availibile or for the enigine to use as fuel sraight away! the power level could be explained like this: 5 units --------- for direct enigine use none set aside. 6 or more ------- for storage in battery if the light isnt availibile. SC, Pls say ive got it right. failing that then pls tell us the the true use

well i sorted out that little problem with my saves and i repaired my bc last night all my crew survived though they were rather wounded and fatuged. now plotted course for galcom hq

ive got a funny pic but im not sure how to post?

Well i tried to do the the sos thingy on friday but i had patched my game and forsome reason my save didnt work so my crew are stuck without a captain and i have to begin again..... but ive been at silverstone on saturday and today and that means i have to stay on-station longer tonight.

i played bc3k and the large manual said that the solar reactor draws power into the reactors battery for use in emergancy situations so you can perform repairs and/or kick the but of your ememy while half crippled. but in bc3k i never worked this feature out so..........

And why did i not think of that i just thought (and hoped) that i could repair another way like in a ship you wouldnt be panicking about a computer missing when you can replace the life support. and i hope my men live to see the tow

Hi ive just registered and i wanted to ask a question. Does anyone know what to do when enigines, main and auxilery life suport, main computer are destroyed with many other systems and the armor, hull are cut to ribbons BUT your still alive with most of your crew while in neutral territory? i mean you cant use logistix while the main comp is destroyed so you cant perform repairs or evac your crew and it just feels dishonerable to abandon the crew.
